Bethany and Xavier’s love for each other is also one of the things that stands in the way of Jake Thorn and his goal: to have Bethany for himself. She is more human than all the other angels, and her relationship with Xavier is a rare anomaly that Ivy and Gabriel and all the Host of Heaven are implored to accept. She isn’t able to resist the pull she feels toward Xavier Woods, student body president of the school she attends and loved by all who meet him. Bethany’s inexperience and fiery compassion for the humans make her easily susceptible to the temptations of human life. Her brother, the archangel Gabriel (the same archangel who announced Jesus’s birth to the shepherds in Bethlehem on the first Christmas) and her sister Ivy (a seraphim), have been to earth many times, and are used to the ways of the human beings. The angel Bethany is only seventeen years old in angel years, and this is her first time on earth. The Church family are really angels sent from Heaven to sleepy little Venus Cove, Georgia, to restore the town’s faith in God. Now, she is trapped-it’s up to Xavier, Gabriel, and Ivy to find a way to break into Hell and rescue her from Jake’s clutches, all without starting the war that Bethany’s capture was intended to ignite. Barely an hour after the séance, Bethany is gone without a trace. He disguises himself as one of Xavier’s friends and tricks Bethany into accepting a ride on the motorcycle which he promptly drives straight into Hades. As it happened, the séance allowed Jake Thorn to crawl back up out of Hell. Life has been good-and if it hadn’t been for the fateful séance that Bethany’s human friends conducted on her first Halloween on earth, it would have stayed good.
It seems that Jake Thorn, the demon that Gabriel banished in “Halo”, is really and truly gone.
Bethany, Ivy, and Gabriel Church have been on earth for nearly a year now, and Bethany and her mortal boyfriend Xavier Woods are growing closer each day. “Hades” is the second book in Alexandra Adornetto’s “Halo” trilogy.
